St. Johns County opens FHSAA football playoffs. Inside the matchups
The Florida High School Athletic Association opens the high school football playoffs Friday, Nov. 13 for Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Here are the first-round regional matchups around St. Johns County. All times are as listed by the FHSAA but are subject to change. Region 1-6A Lake Mary (2-8) at Creekside (8-2), 7 p.m. Winner gets: Sanford Seminole or Lake Brantley. Playoff history: Lake Mary is 21-16 with one state title; Creekside is 1-8. Last regional playoff appearance: Lake Mary, 2025 (state champion); Creekside, 2025 (lost in regional quarterfinal). Glance : An unusual matchup for Creekside against an opponent tougher than its 2-8 record. Lake Mary, the 2025 state champion at Class 7A, has played a bruising schedule, and its throw-first offense produces big points with QB Remy Jarman (1,726 yards, 15 TD) and WR Cole Emanuel (48 catches, 915 yards). A balanced Creekside team can hurt teams on the ground (RB Davis Baldwin, 675 yards, 12 TD) or in the air (QB Rozzi Sperry, 1,820 yards, 13 TD; WR Timmy Goodrich, 46 catches, 643 yards). DE Elijah Belz, LB Sutton Hooker and DBs Trent Porter and Justin Roddy have helped the Knights grab 21 takeaways. Region 1-5A Bartram Trail (7-3)
